Finally found a decent tonneau. Lifetime warranty, managed to snag it for $256 instead of $320.

Truck came with the original ford cover, and it was garbage... one of those seal & peel covers. Here is the best upgrade I've bolted on besides the Bilstein shocks...

Thanks... I couldn't imagine having anything else besides roll up with velcro on the sides. Can't wait for an extra mpg or two!

@stxrangerbumper I figured your name was familiar... you plague my filter thread with misinformed arguments. your grammar in your posts is abysmal. you don't have any facts to back up your current argument... then again, i don't understand a thing you typed.

Anywho... i currently get 14 mpg (last fill up w/o a cover). with my previous cover, I averaged 16. on the high end, I'd get 18 mpg. What am I looking at realistically? an extra half mile per gallon. Real purpose of buying it... keep product in the bed dry and protected from the elements.

^^^What he said +10,000. I can prove my cover gets me better gas milage. It has been documented several times over the years. Driving with the tail gate down does not give more gas milage...Myth-Busters proved this already several years ago on three of their shows I watched them all........The cover saves gas!!!! A+++

i'd really like to find one that i could cut up so i could keep my bed rail toolbox and have somewhat dry storage.. the gas mileage difference for me wouldn't really be noticeable on a truck that's used for work

You can get a custom one made, Bro. I had one on my 89 Toyota. I had the tool box up front in the middle of the bed and I had a guy take my cover and shorten it and made it fit up to the tool box so I could drive all the time with the cover. It was soo cool looking. Yours in on the side you mean? I have seen covers that were made to fit around the box in that position as well. Use your imagination, Bro!!

^I believe they already have those. I'm not 100% sure but I think they're called toolbox tonneaus. They fit right behind the toolbox so you can still open and close the toolbox and have the tonneau there to keep your stuff out of prying eyes.

A company called TruXedo lets you create your own dimensions for Tonneau covers. So if you have your own toolbox you'd like to use, you can send them the dimensions of the rest of the open part of the bed, and they'll make a custom one for you. It's super low profile too and has a locking mechanism. About the best of the best.
